It is no longer news that the popular Nigeria’s “End Bad Governance” protest, kicked off on August 1, 2024, as was informed the Government by the organisers. What is most concerning is how and how the Government handled the nationwide exercise, seeing it as a major opposition-sponsored protest, that required threat messages and several warnings to accused sponsors of their involvement.
In a recent Media address, Heads of Nigerian security agencies vowed to unravel the sponsors of the protest and make them face the wrath of the law. They vowed that the protest sponsors were already on the security watchlist, while their accounts were being tracked. The Government has insisted that the protests be fully investigated to get the major guilty culprits.
Before the march began, it was all over the media that Ministers, Lawmakers, Governors, Police and Security chiefs, tried to prevent the nationwide protests. They warned against demonstrations. Officials urged for patience and even offered concessions. If the government urged patience and offered concessions, why would the supposed sponsors of the protests be threatened? This is regardless of who the major sponsor or sponsors have been.
This demonstrates that the supposed protest sponsor is not anti-Tinubu. If he was anti-Tinubu government, the violence would have been encouraged, supported and escalated to such an extent as to cause chaos across the nation. This could result in a major threat to President Tinubu and his administrators.
The concern now is, which other sponsor is the Government trying to bring to book when a major theme of the Protest has been the negative aspects of Nigeria’s economic crisis? It is common knowledge that President Tinubu kicked off his administration by removing the controversial fuel subsidy and loosened currency controls that have deepened, since his government was elected in May 2023.
Though the reforms were praised by bodies like the International Monetary Fund, IMF, and World Bank, and economists who argued they were painful but necessary, the impact of the policies has been negatively severe for millions of Nigerians. It not only increased poverty across the land, it also led to higher rates of malnutrition and food insecurity, which brought about serious food scarcity and shortages.
Inflation has soared to 34%, the highest annual rate in almost 30 years, and food inflation at 40%. Rising insecurity in northwest and central Nigeria has also displaced farmers from their farmland, leading to soaring food prices. Though the President signed a new minimum wage into law on July 29, doubling it to 70,000 naira after months of long negotiations with Nigeria’s labour unions, the Government has tried to distribute food aid such as bags of rice to various communities, to help the vulnerable. The schemes which are widely held as inefficient, only reached a small fraction of those in need, provoking more anger.
Generally, thousands of Protesters held demonstrations in several Nigerian cities. In some cities, the demonstrations were met with heavy police presence, while in some others, a few people were killed in places like Minna, Kano, Kaduna and some other cities, mostly around northern Nigeria. On social media, there were also reports of killings and tear gas used to disperse protests in Abuja, the nation’s capital, drawing condemnation from rights groups.
The point is, no matter how much the Government tries to look for the sponsor of these type of protests, the unresolved issues on ground will always dim the voice of the government and reduce the people’s participation in the Government’s quest for who the sponsors are. Afterall, what is the average man’s interest in knowing the sponsor of a protest, that the major issues are what he or she is still trying to solve?
This is why on social media, it became laughable that those who were supposedly paid to protest against the ‘Bad Governance Protest’, became the major protesters themselves, telling the whole world that a rubber of Garri that used to be N300, is now over N1,500. It’s indeed laughable.
With all these demonstrations, the Government really needs to do the necessary to bring about the needed changes that the people are asking for. Beyond addressing the citizens which is required, precise, deliberate action has to be taken as fast as possible, to address the combination of unprecedented fuel prices, high food inflation, rising electricity tariffs, a collapse in the value of the naira, and related challenges, which gave rise to the popular ‘End Bad Governance’ protest.
